Van Niekerk says a witness saw the incident from across the road and when the suspects fled the scene the witness attempted to stop them by firing shots at the getaway vehicles. She says a BMW and a bakkie were used by the robbers. Nobody was injured during the shooting and the suspects fled onto the N1 highway.
